But freenet already has load-estimation code; you can see it on mainport. If that were used to do load-balancing, things would be good. BUT: Nodes can lie. A node that always reports 0% load might be able to do some bad things. Hrm. But maybe only with bad design. BUT: This load stat can also change rather quickly. Although I suppose if it were a byte (integer 1-100), it would be easy enough to send along with requests. In any case, I'm sure the dev team isn't ignorant of any of this; it's just not top-priority right now. Although maybe it would be a good thing to see before the next slashdot attack. If done right, of course. :) --hobbs _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
